With strong technical skills, creativity, and a passion for education, I excel in building meaningful student-teacher relationships and tailoring learning experiences. I create engaging graphics, videos, and websites, and I effectively utilize applications and add-ons to enhance educational delivery. Additionally, I adeptly manage student information and communication through online resources and learning management systems, ensuring efficient and effective educational processes.

Website Development

Google Sites ~ Weebly

I have experience in creating and managing websites for personal use, conventions, and business—including the site you are currently viewing. To see the site I am developing for my Math 30-1 course, please click the picture of the tablet..

In designing educational sites, I prioritize learning outcomes and both curate and create resources that empower students to succeed. In the absence of a formal learning management system, I have developed this website to complement Google Classroom. The content, including videos which I recorded and edited, notes, and practice exercises, is sourced from Edmonton Public Resources and colleagues. Each lesson is structured to activate prior knowledge, deliver the lesson content, provide opportunities for practice, and include formative assessments.
​
I am committed to ensuring that students feel supported throughout their learning journey on the site, constantly reminding them that they are not alone, even in an asynchronous learning environment. 

Other Technology Tools

Moodle~Google Classoom~ Phet~Wiris Quizzes~ SmarterMarks ~Creative Commons~Google Workspace~Equatio~Mathtype~Desmos~HTML ​
​Adobe Acrobat Pro~Youtube Playlists~AI~and Many Other Extensions & Add-ons for Education​

Above, you'll find a list of tools that I use to monitor student progress, differentiate learning, create resources and assessments, and improve communication with students in an online setting.

Over the years, I've curated hundreds of videos that I can quickly share with students. The Eureka playlist is a true gem—though it's an oldie, it's absolutely a goodie.​

I have utilized Google Sheets to automate the grading process and generate detailed feedback reports for exams and quizzes. These documents highlight the types of questions where errors occurred, provide directions for additional practice, and break down grades by unit for final exams. This approach offers students concrete evidence on where to focus their efforts when preparing for diploma or appeal exams, ensuring targeted and effective revision.​

Physics 30 Final Exam Feedback

Thank you for marking my final exam!  It looks like I need to focus on reviewing Unit C on EMR, as it seems that is where most of my wrong questions are.  I just wanted to say thank you very much for being a great teacher, I appreciate all the help you have given, and all the quick email responses!  I am taking my Chemistry 30 final exam on Thursday, and then the diplomas for Chemistry and Physics are near the end of June, after which I graduate from highschool!  I have very much enjoyed my Physics 30 course, and having you as a teacher. ~~Physics 30 Student
